AARON Brown believes Iffy Onuora deserves a second chance in management and knows a Gillingham win at the County Ground tomorrow will do his cause the world of good.

Aaron Browns knows jack shit and is a fucking cunt

I hope he was there today.

sat a few rows infront of me dv.

I hope you told him he was a fucking cunt and consistantly asked him what the score was

no but he took loads of stick off one guy constantly.he was sat with the wifes,kids and girlfriends of our players.he didn't react

typical Aaron Brown, he got loads of abuse.....but was too lazy to re-act to it.

He's too good for League One banter

Nothing Iffy about him - only his crap management that if he stays in charge will mean in his two managerial seasons he will have taken two teams down.

Finally, someone agrees with me.  Sonic Youth on the other hand has other views for some strage reason

Hes also taken on 2 struggling teams up shit creek.

If Sturrock took charge of the same team as Iffy did, we would have finished mid table.

Andy King would have done a better job ten Onoura

I cant be arsed to argue with you,lets agree to disagree.

i can be arsed to argue. you're a fucking moron stef. iffy didn't ever deserve any flack for coming back to town. i think he gave us his all and (espicially as a player) sadly the shite he  had a team today on a par with his stfc team two years ago.

just to clarify- you're a retard stef (and are you guoing to support france in the semis?)

He took an average, team down. we had plenty of chances to stay up but his negative tactics took us down. I rember he said he would play our strongest team at City away, so up front we had a 16 year old (who played very well) and some shite that couldn't score for Aldershot. And who was on the bench, our top scorer

The team was shite.

Firstly yes i will be supporting France, as they play attrtactive rugby and go for tries, and won't play the predictable boring game which Engerland play.  

Secondly, i'm not suggesting that Onoura didnt give his best for Swindon.  I'm just saying he is a poor manager who didnt have a clue how to run a football team, and he was the ultimate reason why we got relegated.  His team selections at times were strange, and losing to fellow relegation threatened teams like the Franchise at home was just criminal.  His teams hardly ever showed any passion, and their was clearly a lack of unity in the team.  

I'm sure you were one of the people who wanted Onoura to stay when we got relegated.  The truth of the matter is, we got relegated, brought in new managers, and the club has improved and never looked back as a result.

Your response to my comments will be  'Onoura inherited a poor team'.  However most teams in league 1 had similar abiluty sides to Swindon.  The difference was the managers of Port Vale, Bournemouth etc could get the best out of their players.  Onoura couldnt

How different is our squad now though Stef?

I don't think Iffy is a good manager but the team he got was clearly a relegation -candidate team

iffy inehrited a poor team. a very very shit team.he was given little chance of improving the side.

iffy didn't get us relegated, the team from the players to the coaching staff got us relegated.

Well at the start of the season under Andy King, everyone thought we had a potential playoff chasing team.

Thorpe and Cureton upfront seemed a decent pairing.  Thorpe ended up being shite, whilst Cureton done the business once given an oppurtunity.

Looking back at that season, Swindon were probably a relegation - candidate team from the start.  However the same could be said about 6-7 other teams.

The difference between your Paul Sturrocks, Dario Gradi, Johnson (from Bristol City), to your Onouras is that they have the tactical nouse and ability to make their teams hard to beat and get good results away from home.

If Onoura was in charge of our current Swindon side, we'd probably be relegated or just scrape releation

He was given the same oppurnities as most managers in lower leagues - the loan market

yeah, cos sturrock signed loads of loan players last season didn't he?

change the record. or go back to slagging off england, i don't care about that.

That's a completely empty argument, if Iffy was in charge we wouldn't have this team...

Anyway, what's with all the Iffy bashing?  So we went on loan to the bottom division, we got to see some grounds we'd never seen before and we bounced straight back up.

If we'd stayed up we'd probably have a worse team now than we have got.

The guy is a good bloke, he wasn't really up to the job but that doesn't really matter now does it?

No what i meant to say is,  if Sturrock left Swindon today, and Onoura then became in charge of the team, then i'm pretty confident we would be at the lower reaches of the table come May

in a strange way 05/06 was a pretty interesting season for me, went to plenty of away games, the fans felt closer than they are now and nearly everyone was behind the team an dthe manager.

I think people thought play offs because we had our proven goalscorer in Cureton. Trouble is the little shit didn't really want to play for us. Iffy had balls to let him out on loan and fair play. Just like Sturrock had the balls to let Weston leave (which I still think is a bit wrong).

Johnson had a good side who should never have been candidates for relegation and so the final table proved. But for a while they did shit. Like losing to us at the CG.

I suppose the results against Leeds and Orient don't count for much do they?

hmmm Lukas was playing very well at the time...

Plus our top scorer was in Swansea  :roll:

iffy made big ron look good.

there's not so much of the behind the scenes stuff going on though, we were all pretty much solely concentrated on the team and football. things now seem rather fractious, people arguing amongst themselves.

not seen anything like donny away though

anyone that blames iffy for our relegation is a fucking retard imo.

agreed, boards fault

didnt get rid of King in the summer and bring in a new manager and give him a chance to get his own team in

went for the cheap option with Iffy

Sold our best player from under him mid-season

exactly dv

Spot on Mr Kinky

I enjoyed last year ticked off about 10 more grounds

last year was good because it was different

we won games for change and we got to go to different places.

Now we get to go to Port fucking Vale again.....for what seems like the millionth time

Some of you are right in bits but you're still all wrong.

It was a nightmare season from start to finish. Pre-season was a poor effort for various reasons, things looked a bit up with the signings of Cureton and Thorpe but that just got peoples hopes up before it turned out one was shit and the other couldn't be arsed.

We shouldn't have sacked King. Ignore fan pressure, most fan's are idiots. That's something King got right in one of his interviews.

Sacking your manager when you've got nobody better lined up is foolishness, unless it's extreme circumstances and you think you're better off spinning the roulette wheel and taking a chance. We weren't in that situation, King had got us out of worst situations a few times.

Saying that, I like Iffy but he was out of his depth. I think he could make a good manager in the future but he wasn't ready. I'm not even claiming that King would have definitely kept us up, that's a stupid argument game of ifs, one which naturally ends up in circular arguments. I'm just saying it was a bad decision to sack him when there was no replacement.

Ben in sensible football post shocker  :shock:

Shit it was a bit wasn't it? I'm hoping someone disagrees with me so I can some tinternet fight. Bring it on queen wad.

queen wad?

Fuck knows, I was trying to be 8 years old again. Unfortunately my memory's fucked.

Hmm.. I seem to be burying my awesome football post under my own random shit. So this is what it feels like.
